(Note: It was a sad day recently at the Rotary Club meeting when we got the news that Duane and Diana Tappe would soon be leaving McCook for the eastern part of the state---to be closer to kids and grandkids.

Not only have they been extremely busy helping in a wide variety of charitable causes, they have brought a fresh outlook to us in a variety of ways. For instance, when the BRAN (Bike Ride Across Nebraska) rides were being touted for physically active folks, Duane came up with the idea of CRAN (Car Ride Across Nebraska) for those of us who were "exercise challenged", and for a number of years led a caravan of people from across the state on varied trips to out of the way attractions in Nebraska. These rides proved to be very popular, and regular participants got to see a good bit of Nebraska, mostly unseen by tourists, over the years. This is the story of one such CRAN journey.)
